-
promoting sustainable income generating opportunities within the Guatemalan Maya community
Right to Play uses play and sports to enable children to take control of their lives. They become healthy and active participants in their communities as they learn math, reading and more. Right to Play helps children learn from their personal experiences.
Our club is supporting Right to Play in Benin.
Carol has been in contact with Casa Hogar to ask about their needs. They are changing their request following Hurricane Patricia. Many of the restaurants and organizations that normally donate food are struggling to rebuild, so they have a severe shortage to feed the children. We donated $1000 immediately to help alleviate that problem and will hold more in reserve depending on how it can best be spent at a later date. These are some pictures of the children cleaning up the street around the orphanage in Manzanillo.
